any reason that you removed functions for cleaning data.table?

I really like many of the data.table cleaning functions such as setdiscard in an old version of this package. Could you let me know why you decided to remove these functions from the package? It kind of broke many of my previous codes. Thanks!

I'm sorry I removed them. I was under the impression these functions were not really useful.
Which one exactly did you use ? (I removed setkeep, setdiscard, keep_if, discard_if, setmutate).
As you may already know, you can just copy/paste back the source by looking at former commits (for instance here).
FYI, the plan is to not remove anything from now on (the package will soon be 1.0)
